Hello,
and thanks for the responses! The basic answer...:
man olwm
That showed me what I needed.
My original post:
I do not have a complete set of openwin docs (sunOS4.1.3) and I need to
know how to add menus/programs to the main desktop menus among other
things. Is there anywhere on the net where I can find info on this?
Thanks to:

Check out the "openwin-menu*" files in /usr/openwin/lib. If you take a
close look at these files, I think you should be able to figure out how
it works. If not, just ask.

Take a look at the olwm man page. It has comprehensive information
about the menus.

You can take the default files from /usr/openwin/lib and modify them.
As an aside, I'd recommend just doing it the .xinitrc way instead of all
the various OW scripts. Of course, I'd also recommend looking at twm or
vtwmif you're going to learn something for new.

I don't know any documentation on how to add menus', but my example
menuswhich I use I can give you.
The configuration is relatively easy.
I have included 5 attachments, start reading from the openwin-menu file
and work through the logical list.

This customization is easy. Just go to /usr/openwin/lib.
Then look at all the files named openwin...
openwin-init
openwin-menu
openwin-menu-demo
openwin-menu-demo-fulldemo
openwin-menu-demo-nodemo
openwin-menu-programs
openwin-menu-utilities
openwin-sys
If you have just the basic Unix skills the needed edits
to customize these menus will be evident.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: greg.harrison@analog.com (greg harrison)
To:sysadmin@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu
Look in /usr/openwin/lib. You will see the following files:
openwin-init
openwin-menu
openwin-menu-demo
openwin-menu-demo-fulldemo
openwin-menu-demo-nodemo
openwin-menu-programs
openwin-menu-utilities
openwin-sys
These are the system wide files. If you want to modify them for all
users,
then change these. If you want to change them for a single user, copy
them
to the user's home and preface each file name with a "." (i.e
openwin-init
becomes .openin-init). Its fairly easy to change them once you look at
them
and see how they are set up.

I think you will get a lot of replies to this one somehow, but
here is my little bit anyway.
The files that control the default menus are in
$OPENWINHOME/lib/openwin-menu-xxxxxx
These are the easiest way to see the format. To create custom menus,
it is best NOT to edit these, since you will probably have multiple
installations of OpenWindows, but to create a file in your home
directory called .openwin-menu with similar commands to those in the
windows area. Obviously you can then add personal entries or reference
a central menu configuration file.
If you look at the man page for 'olwm' and look in the section
MENU SPECIFICATION SYNTAX, you should get some more help.
Happy playing,

See olwm(1). The default root menu is /usr/openwin/lib/openwin-menu.
You can put your own in ~/.openwin-menu.

The quick, partial answer is: edit $OPENWINHOME/lib/openwin-menu*
